How Fix Broken Wooden LEG on Footrest Ottoman Sofa Furniture Foot Rest Footstool (Double Sided Nail)

To repair a broken wooden footrest leg using double-sided nails, follow these steps:
Prepare the Area:
Remove any splinters or debris from the broken leg and footrest.
Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry.
Drill Pilot Holes:
Drill small pilot holes into both the broken leg and the corresponding area on the footrest. This will make it easier to insert the double-sided nails.
Apply Wood Glue:
Apply wood glue to both surfaces to ensure a strong bond.
Insert Double-Sided Nails:
Insert the double-sided nails into the pilot holes of one side (either the leg or the footrest).
Carefully align the broken leg with the footrest and push them together so the nails enter the corresponding pilot holes on the other piece.
Clamp and Let Dry:
Clamp the leg and footrest together firmly to hold them in place while the glue dries.
Let it dry for at least 24 hours to ensure a strong bond.
Reinforce with Screws (Optional):
For added strength, you can drill additional pilot holes and insert screws perpendicular to the double-sided nails.
Sand and Finish:
Once the glue is fully dried, sand any excess glue or rough edges.
Finish with paint or varnish to match the rest of the footrest. #furniturerepair IKEA
